For 60 years, Jim Bowie Days has been about more than rodeos, parades, and events. It's about the memories made with family and friends, and passing those traditions on to the next generation.

From grandparents who attended decades ago to children experiencing it for the first time, Jim Bowie Days continues to bring our community together year after year.

In past years, the rodeo started at 7:30 PM. For 2026, we've adjusted the start time to 8:00 PM to allow the sun to get a little lower and the evening temperatures to cool down.

It's only a 30-minute change, but we believe it will create a more comfortable experience for our fans, contestants, volunteers, and livestock during the Texas summer.

🕗 Rodeo Begins Nightly at 8:00 PM
📍 Bowie Rodeo Arena

🎟 Adults $10

Pictured is Andy Nored at the Bowie Rodeo Arena around 1966.

Andy was one of the early members who helped establish the Jim Bowie Saddle Club and the Jim Bowie Days Rodeo. He served as president for several years and played an important role in improving the rodeo grounds and helping build the foundation for what Jim Bowie Days would become.

Like so many of the founding members, Andy believed that a rodeo and community celebration could bring people together, support local businesses, and create something future generations could be proud of.

As we celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Jim Bowie Days in 2026, it's worth remembering the volunteers, visionaries, and community leaders who invested their time and effort to create a tradition that is still thriving today.

We believe Andy and the other founders would be proud to see Jim Bowie Days continuing to bring entertainment, community spirit, and economic impact to Bowie six decades later.

Thank you to those who built it. And thank you to those who continue to carry it forward.
